Our Mission
To save lives through the following prioritized principles:
- Maintain the current patients in biostasis.
- Place current and future members into biostasis (when and if needed).
- Eventually restore to health and reintegrate into society all patients in Alcor’s care.
- Fund research into developing more cost effective and reliable means for 1-3 above.
- Provide public education as a means of fostering growth to support the goals of 1, 2, 3, 4 above.

🏗️ Alcor's Engineering Equipment Wishlist
Alcor’s engineers have been working in a seriously cramped space -- and it's seriously cramping their style. We've built them a new engineering wing with plenty of breathing room, but now we need your help to outfit it with essential equipment. >> Alcor's Engineering Wishlist << $8,000  HEPA Fume/VOC Extractor – BOFA AD 1000iQ - https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/bofa-ad-1000-iq/sk/MZA039LV **
A good Fume and VOC extractor is essential in an enclosed environment when using adhesives, glues, resins, soldering, etc. Health and safety. $27,175 Tormach 770M CNC Mill - https://tormach.com/770m-premium-package-cfg.html or – a Lower Cost CNC Mill as an alternative to the 770M is this one; $18,785 Tormach PCNC440 CNC Mill https://tormach.com/pcnc-440-premium-package-with-atc.html
A good CNC mill will be used mainly for machining cryonics-specific custom designed aluminum and copper components. The more expensive mill is bigger, has a larger work area, and due to greater rigidity of the structure it can machine more types of materials in less time. $5,000 – $15,000 for Various Bulk Fastener Assortments - https://nutsandbolts.com/collections/fastener-assortments
Almost everything we build requires threaded fasteners of some kind. We have always ordered fasteners piecemeal, which means that we buy each one separately at retail price as needed. Buying bulk fasteners means that we will have those fasteners in stock, and these will be much cheaper to implement in the long run. The price differential is based on which fastener assortments we can afford to purchase. More $ = more fasteners. A well-designed engineering space is essential for maintaining and advancing our technical capabilities. Your contribution will help establish a purpose-built work environment where our team can efficiently manage, maintain, and develop our critical systems and equipment. This investment in infrastructure directly supports the quality and reliability of our preservation services. Prefer to support a different aspect of our mission?

Power-up Alcor's Deployment and Recovery Teams (DART) with expanded geographical coverage, higher-tech equipment and advanced training programs. Every minute counts - help us break more response time records. Rapid response capability is at the heart of successful cryopreservation. Your support strengthens our DART network by funding advanced medical equipment, specialized team training, and strategic placement of resources across key regions. As we reduce response times and enhance our field capabilities, we increase the likelihood of optimal preservation outcomes. This systematic expansion of our DART infrastructure makes our services more accessible while maintaining the highest standards of care.
